Updated background colors for web page
Bruce Momjian <maillist@candle.pha.pa.us> — 1999-01-05T00:13:32Z
I have modified FAQ, FAQ_DEV, TODO, and HISTORY so they have the proper background colors to match the rest of the site. I guess everyone likes my manila envelope colored background. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

All the revised web pages use a style sheet file, www/html/style1.css. If you LINK this file, background color is specified for BODY. See any of the newer pages. That way, we can change the color scheme of the whole site with a single edit. The link to the style sheet needs to be relative as it's possible for mirror sites to put us below their DocumentRoot. Other changes on the site: Phasing out SSI (.shtml) in favor of plain .html, as it seems to be falling into disfavor - some sites can't mirror us because of their servers don't support .shtml. The body of each revised page is in a DIV block (CLASS="main") to give uniform spec to fonts. Again this is to make it easy to change the whole look of the site once the upgrades are done. The spec doesn't do much now. Tags are balanced (<LI> gets matching </LI>, e.g.), <HTML> and </HTML> added where missing - looking forward to stricter XML-style parsers. For the same reason, tags are being converted to all upper case. The head of each revised file has a CVS $Id$ embedded in an HTML comment, so web developers can check what page they're looking at by doing View Source. --- Hal
